“…The most common repair technique is resection followed by prosthetic replacement. 6,7,10,11 The main advantage of direct suture is that it avoids a number of potential complications associated with prostheses, such as infection, 25,26 aortobronchial or aortoesophageal fistula, [27][28][29][30] false aneurysm at the anastomoses, 31,32 and late thromboembolism because of size differences between the prosthesis and the aorta. 33,34 None of these complications has ever been reported in patients treated with direct suture.…”

Mortality in burn patients who sustain concomitant mechanical traumatic injuries at the time of thermal injury is greater than in patients who sustain isolated injuries. Invasive interventions to treat these mechanical traumatic injuries may be a source of added mortality and contribute to an injury-induced state of immunosuppression. Less-invasive interventions may minimize morbidity and mortality and allow for improved recovery from thermal injury. A case is presented of a patient who sustained 20% TBSA electrical burns and an acute thoracic aortic injury near the diaphragmatic hiatus. Abdominal aortic stent-graft components were used to successfully exclude the patient's thoracic aortic injury. The patient made a successful recovery from his burns and sustained no infectious complications. This case report highlights the potential advantages of endovascular therapy for the treatment of aortic trauma in patients who sustain concomitant burn injuries.
